Contract Disputes & Contract Drafting
Blackford & Flohr provides comprehensive contract dispute resolution and contract drafting services tailored for Maryland businesses and individuals. Contract disputes are among the most common causes of business litigation. As seasoned Maryland attorneys with extensive experience in business law, we know the critical elements that make a contract robust and enforceable. Often, contracts are drafted hastily, leading to loopholes and vague terms that can cause significant issues down the line. In such situations, having an experienced attorney by your side is invaluable.
Contract Disputes
Although you should always review your contract thoroughly before signing it, you may still find yourself in an unfortunate contract dispute. In business law, everything hinges on the terms both parties initially agreed upon. As time goes by, these terms may be violated either accidentally or on purpose, leading to a potential dispute. Contract disputes can be complex, often involving intricate legal and financial implications. Whether you were responsible for drafting the contract or were simply a signatory, having an experienced attorney review your case and the contract itself is essential to protect your interests.
FAQs
A breach of contract happens when one party fails to meet their obligations as specified in the contract. This could involve not delivering goods or services, failing to make a payment, or violating any other agreed-upon terms. The contract should outline what constitutes a breach and the consequences that follow.
If you suspect a breach of contract, it’s important to gather all relevant documentation and contact an attorney immediately. An attorney can review your contract, assess the situation, and advise you on the appropriate steps to take, which may include negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
Yes, contracts can be modified after signing, but any changes must be agreed upon by all parties involved. Modifications should be documented in writing and signed by all parties to avoid future disputes. An attorney can help ensure that modifications are legally binding and properly executed.
When reviewing a contract, pay close attention to the terms and conditions, including payment schedules, delivery timelines, dispute resolution clauses, and any penalties for breach of contract.
